Major Umamusume balance update will finally make Guts useful

Cygames, the creators of Umamusume, revealed that a significant game update is coming on November 11, 2025 – much sooner than players anticipated.

When new features were first released in the Japanese version of the game for its anniversary, players assumed it would take a year for those same features to come to the global version. Fortunately, Cygames decided to speed up the rollout and bring them to everyone sooner.

This update includes major improvements to characters, events, skills, and cards. You’ll also earn more resources from career runs, and some harmful status effects will be weakened. Importantly, the update adds new race mechanics that will finally give the Guts stat a clear purpose and make it much more valuable.

This new Umamusume update is a game-changer, and it’s arriving at the perfect time with the Unity Cup event just around the corner.
